Late Summer Stories in 2010 Part 4

Conclusion

Vulure capitalism has been exposed for eons now. This is especially true after the November 2007 recession. All human beings should be bettered not just the privileged few. The financially elite cabal took over the economic sphere of America even in the early part of the 20th century. Not all nations are run totally by a free market system since many nations like America are in mixed economy (or in a Dirigist framework). Dirgisme is where the government has a role in influencing economies, but there is room for private enterpise to exist as well. One example is how there is the state run military, yet there are private delivery services like UPS (including the public US Postal Service) that all function in one country like the United States of America. America has a public transit system in many cities and private option to control prices. Most road networks in America are government built and maintained, yet private citizens and companies can sponsor a highway or road to ease some of the financial strain. Public and private schools are avaliable for children in dealing with education too. Capitalism is a socio-economic system that its means of production is ruled mostly by private sources for profit via the employment of labor. The forces of supply and demand in a market determine the price of goods in capitalism. Private ownership of production is good when it is in the hands of legitimate people. Yet, in our days, oligarchs control most of our economy not regular people. There is no such thing as an invisible hand since the Black Nobility elite (and their bloodlines) are the markets. Some cartel capitalists believe in the lies that poverty and umemployment are inevitable things, any form of regulation is evil or immoral, any resource should be privately owned in every circumstance, and the super rich should pay little to no tax since they are the engine of the economy. It is not right to allow kingdoms or nations to concentrate power and wealth into a few hands (as the robber barons desires. These baron contributed to the Stoc Market crash of 1929). In response to these evil efforts of Oligarchs in human history, people promoted the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, civil rights legislation, Social Security, and rights for women to advance human progression. In the 21st century, wars, bailout looting, unemployment, and other forms of miseries are enacted by cartel-capitalists (This is fascism. Fascism is when an Oligarchy seizes the powers of the state to dominate corporations to rule the people). We have police state measures at home and an unequal distribution of wealth. Fascists don't just attack other nations, but their own people. There were the Waco raid and the atrocities all over the USA committed by the government. This is why economic populists believe in the right of a person to have an education, the right of the people to have health care, the right of the people to have the oppurtunity to get resources to get their lives in order. Americans must create a government that will serve as the protector of the citizenry, and champion their cause when confronted with the predatory greed of profit-motivated corporations and individuals (that seize federal and state power). The evil of class warfare is one way the oligarchy tries to do to divide us.

The Ground zero mosque deals with property rights. Yet, the corporate media is using the controversy to brainwash people to accept anti-religious liberty propaganda. Time Magazine on August 19 shown a poll saying that 61% of the respondents oppose the construction of the mosque. While, 26% of the pople support it. Time wrote that: "...More than 70% concur with the premise that proceeding with the plan would be an insult to the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center..." Bill O'Reilly and the Clinton era throwback person Dick Morris demand that Muslims be stripped of the right to own property in America. This is an insult to the victims of 9/11 among many were Muslims. Muslims collectively have no responsibility for the catastrophic event of 9/11 at all. Time Magazine is apart of the CIA Mockingbird corporate media network. Any poll from them should be labeled as suspect. There is no evidence of the true barometer of American support for the mosque. Yet, most Americans probably believe that the mosque is an insult to the victims of 911, because of the corporate media's anti-Muslim propaganda. Neo-con Newt Gingrich compared the site to Nazis trying to put up a sign near Washington's Holocaust museum. Sarah Palin said that it is an unnecessary provocation that "stabs hearts." She is supportive of the establishment's Tea party movement (when the independent Tea Party people are pushed to the side). Palin and her ilk claim to support the Constitution. Yet, the Constitution is clear that private property rights & religious freedom are a keen part of constitutional rights. There is nothing wrong with having the freedom to own private property in a legitimate fashion. The all but 4 of the 55 men at the Constitutional Convention placed the protection of property as behind only liberty itself. As Lynch notes, of the four who disagreed on this point, three differed not because they valued property rights less than their fellows but because they actually “put [their] protection ahead of liberty as the main object of society,” as Forrest McDonald explains. The Supreme Court even recently have a vague understanding of property rights and the Constitution. The neo-con Supreme Court back in 2005 ruled in the Kelo decision that local governments may force property owners to sell out (and make way for private economic development). The founders would have been appalled by the very concept of "eminent domain." Eminent doman is the idea that government can deny the right of the individual to hold property. Sharif El-gamal is the real estate developer. He owns the buildings that will be transformed into a 15 story mosque on Manhattan. In order that the feelings of the 9/11 victims families will not be hurt ― and also buttress the cornerstone premise of the manufactured global war on terror ― El-Gamal’s property rights may be violated. Even New York governor David Paterson and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid oppose the building of the mosque. Dean said that it's a real affront to people who lost their lives. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights promote the view that Muslims have the right to own property. Almost 2/3 of Americans disagree with property rights (if we are to believe the corporate media). The Patriot Act, the naked body scanners in airports around the nations, etc. are representations of our precious freedoms being lost. I don't agree with Islam, but if people can strip Muslims of their private property rights, then they can strip yours too.

Glen Beck had his pro-Tea Party event in Washington, D.C. on August 27, 2010. This is on the day that Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech back in 1963. Beck wants to believe that his march should be a means to unite the nation among different religious people, etc. So, it's highly Ecumenical. Beck is a Mormon, so that is interesting to mention. Mormonism is not Chrisitanity. It was created by the Freemason Joseph Smith. Mormonism teaches that there are many gods in the world (and that you can become gods and goddesses in the celestrial Kingdom. This is found in Doctrine and Covenants 132:19-20). The OT and NT says that there is only one God in the Universe: "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is: ..." Isaiah 45:5 (KJB). Another verse says that: "... there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is.Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." Isaiah 45:21,22 (KJB). The Book of Mormon is a book that was created by Mormons and it isn't the New Testament. Mormons teach in 3 separate gods of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christianity teaches the believe in one God that manifests himself as 3 distinct persons of the one Godhead. Beck's religion believe that the God the Father has a body of flesh and bones like mankind. Beck uses a mixture of a calm demeanor and an angry persona to get his audience interested in his neo-conservative views. Even Glenn Beck's website shows the Masonic obelisk of the Washington Monument (that was set up by Freemasons. Freemaons promote the new order of the ages, which is code for the new world order). Glenn Beck wants to make known how faith played in the Founding Fathers' life, but many of them were occultists, Deists, and Masons. Beck gave a speech to the pro-CNP, Ecumenical Liberty University in May 15, 2010. He's an ally of Roman Catholic and CFR member Newt Gingrich. So, Glenn Beck can't be trusted when Brigham Young believes in people shedding their own blood for the atonement of sin. This is the repudiation of the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Beck is the one who disrespected 9/11 victims, called the victims of Hurricane Katrina scum, and called President Barack Obama a racist. Now, Beck says that he's following in the footsteps of Dr. Martin Luther King when he's not. He's trying to misrespesent the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King believed in opposing Communism, but he wanted a radical redistribution of economic and political power to help the poor. In 1968, Dr. King said that: "... It didn't cost the nation one penny to integrate lunch counters" and "[i]t didn't cost the nation one penny to guarantee the right to vote." However, he concluded that "now, we are dealing with issues that cannot be solved without the nation spending billions of dollars -- and undergoing a radical redistribution of economic power." The redistribution of wealth toward the super rich is commonplace. King wanted land reform. Glenn Beck promoted Ayn Rand when she was an atheist and an Objectivist. King say this since the super rich have an uneven amount of wealth and power as it is in the world. Dr. King opposed the poor and desired compensatory programs to fight against the evils of poverty in the world. Dr. Martin Luther King believed in the guaranteed income policy of a citizen dividend. Dr. Martin Luther King wanted all human beings to be equal in all places worldwide. Beck says that he wants to reclaim the civil rights movement, but he doesn't even some known basic facts of the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King believed in using Christian theology to promote social transformation of the environment in our landscape (or social justice. Beck is opposed to social justice explictly). Dr. King criticized the economic disparity in America and unregulated capitalism. If Dr. Martin Luther King was alive today, Glen Beck, the Tea Party movement, and others would be opposed to much of the views of Dr. King. The First Amendment from the Bill of Rights dictates that Glenn Beck has a right to his rally (Sarah Palin is to speak there. Beck said he believes it was “divine providence” that the rally was scheduled on the anniversary of the King speech) and people have the right to disagree with it. Alveda King and Pastor Stephen Broden are right on many issues like respecting the rights of the unborn. Yet, even they have been brainwashed by the propaganda of the reactionary and Mormon Glen Beck. Mormons have had a big discriminatory history against black people for a long time. Even the Founding Fathers like Beck almost worships believe in using taxpayer dollars to build infrastructure like canals, manufacturing, and other tools in America. These spending plans are something that Beck and his ilk will oppose. Beck is mking unemployed people the scapegoats of their benefits being lost by calling them "un American."

Yet, Dr. Martin Luther King was right to condemn Communism in his own words:

"...Third, Communism attributes ultimate value to the state. Man is made for the state and not the state for man. One may object, saying that in Communist theory the state is an "interim reality," which will "wither away" when the classless society emerges. True--in theory; but it is also true that, while it lasts, the state is the end. Man is a means to that end. Man has no inalienable rights. His only rights are derived from, and conferred by, the state. Under such a system, the fountain of freedom runs dry. Restricted are man's liberties of press and assembly, his freedom to vote, and his freedom to listen and to read. Art, religion, education, music, and science come under the gripping yoke of government control. Man must be a dutiful servant to the omnipotent state.

All of this is contrary, not only to the Christian doctrine of God, but also to the Christian estimate of man. Christianity insists that man is an end because he is a child of God, made in God's image. Man is more than a producing animal guided by economic forces; he is a being of spirit, crowned with glory and honor, endowed with the gift of freedom. The ultimate weakness of Communism is that it robs man of that quality which makes him man. Man, says Paul Tillich, is man because he is free. This freedom is expressed through man's capacity to deliberate, decide, and respond. Under Communism, the individual soul is shackled by the chains of conformity; his spirit is bound by the manacles of party allegiance. He is stripped of both conscience and reason. The trouble with Communism is that it has neither a theology nor a Christology; therefore it emerges with a mixed-up anthropology. Confused about God, it is also confused about man. In spite of its glowing talk about the welfare of the masses, Communism's methods and philosophy strip man of his dignity and worth, leaving him as little more than a depersonalized cog in the ever-turning wheel of the state.

Clearly, then, all of this is out of harmony with the Christian view of things. We must not fool ourselves. These systems of thought are too contradictory to be reconciled; they represent diametrically opposed ways of looking at the world and of transforming it. We should as Christians pray for the Communist constantly, but never can we, as true Christians, tolerate the philosophy of Communism...These are days when Christians must evince wise restraint and calm reasonableness. We must not call everyone a Communist or an appeaser who recognizes that hate and hysteria are not the final answers to the problems of these turbulent days. We must not engage in a negative anti-Communism, but rather in a positive thrust for democracy, realizing that our greatest defense against Communism is to take offensive action in behalf of justice and righteousness. After our condemnation of the philosophy of Communism has been eloquently expressed, we must with positive action seek to remove those conditions of poverty, insecurity, injustice, and racial discrimination which are the fertile soil in which the seed of Communism grows and develops. Communism thrives only when the doors of opportunity are closed and human aspirations are stifled. Like the early Christians, we must move into a sometimes hostile world armed with the revolutionary gospel of Jesus Christ. With this powerful gospel we shall boldly challenge the status quos and unjust mores and thereby speed the day when "every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed."

Our hard challenge and our sublime opportunity is to bear witness to the spirit of Christ in fashioning a truly Christian world. If we accept the challenge with devotion and valor, the bell of history will toll for Communism. and we shall make the world safe for democracy and secure for the people of Christ. "

-Dr. King's book Strength To Love, pp 97-106.

Glen Beck and Al Sharpton lead competing rallies in Washington, D.C. on the day of Dr. Martin Luther King speech in 1963 in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Each man brought a message. Glen Beck's message was about unity and patriotism. Al Sharpton wanted to describe the King legacy in his own terms. There should be a sense of honor in America. There should be a respect for labor and the poor too. The mutual truth isn't found in worshipping conservativism nor liberalism. It's the embrace of the independent spirit of truth, justice, and mutual respect. Even Glen Beck wanted to apologize for caling President Barack Obama a racist. Beck is wrong to ignore how Dr. Martin Luther King respected social justice, economic justice, and an opposition to the Vietnam War. The Glen Beck rally had many sincere people that wanted unity, peace, and reconcilitation. Tons of the people there who are black, white, Asian, Hispanic, etc. legitimately want individual freedom and a sense of devotion to compassion and love of their fellow man. Yet, Beck's slick goal is to preach the false gospel of militarism and neo con policies. Glen Beck is a famous FOX News TV personality. I remember when he was on CNN. I saw some of the march on CNN and C-Span. There were thousands of people in that location. FOX News and other media outlets have promoted this march. Glen Beck uses entertainment and mix of half truths in order to gain more audiences to adhere to his message. Yet, his message is nothing new. It's the same agenda from the aristocrats filled with austerity, militarism, religious exploitation, and extreme law and order propaganda. Beck wanted to promote the themes of "Faith, Hope, and Charity." Sarah Palin even spoke there to promtoe the military. While Beck hailed King and the civil rights movement Saturday as “people of faith” who merely believed that “everybody deserves a shot,” earlier this year he used one of his broadcasts to denounce King as a “radical socialist” and question why a national holiday had been proclaimed in his honor. Glen Beck don't agree with the economic agenda of the civil rights movement. Glen Beck didn't offer real concrete proposals in the march. It was a large pep rally. Murdoch, the Scaife family foundation, and the Koch family fund FreedomWorks and some of the Tea Party network. Beck doesn't offer radical solutions to decrease unemployment, wage cutting, etc. but charity begins at home at home. Charity does begins at home, but compassion is more than just private charity too. We don't need massive cuts in Social Security, the violation of our civil liberty, the police/military suppressing liberty, and other policies in that nature. We need to rebuild our infrastructure, get Wall Street accountable for its acts for real, have economic justice, and promote real individual liberty for all people.

Glen Beck's march has been evaluated by many quarters. Much of the march was done to promote militarism of course. Many speeches occurred there. Beck tried to act in the fashion of a charismatic preacher to express his message. He wants America to turn back to God. He believes that America has been wandering in darkness. Glen Beck and others gave speechs on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Rabbi Daniel Lapin spoke. He is a strong critic of liberal Judaism. Some link him to the former lobbyist and criminal convicted felon Jack Abramoff. Lapin said that the Torah promoted lower taxes, decreased regulation, and pro-traditional family policies. That's ironic since I don't see the Torah promoting corruption of labor wages or obscene speculation. Beck still claims that his march wasn't about politics. Beck claimed that Native Americans on stage with him were descendants of the Native American people that met with the Pilgrims. In Mormon theology, Native Americans are heavily called the Lost tribes of Israel, so Beck used them in a slick reference. Glen Beck wants to tie us to militarism. He tries to invoke Dr. King as a means to get more African Americans to support the wicked wars on the battlefields. King was against war on moral grounds since it depleted much needed resources from domestic programs. Also, the Vietnam War had a high percentage of minorities causalities in proportion to minority populations. Warmongers like Sarah Palin and Glen Beck aren't truly in cynic with Dr. Martin Luther King's anti-war agenda. Other puppets spewing austerity propaganda include Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Neal Boortz, and other people.
